History Of Parkland Memorial Hospital
There's an incredibly rich history in the buildings in and surrounding Parkland Hospital.
It's a history of firsts - both nationally and locally. For decades, Parkland Hospital led the way. And it's no accident that we are consistently honored with the title of one of the Best 100 Hospitals in the U.S. by US News & World Report.
We hope to never lose the vision that made us a leader in the 20th Century...we owe it to the public we serve to find those opportunities in the 21st Century as well.
If you would like to be a part of making our vision's reality, please consider making a donation to the Parkland Foundation.
